Chapter 199 - 199 A Subtle Team
Every time a Beastmaster passed through the bronze door, dense, mysterious marks would appear on the door.
“This is much grander than the ones I encountered when I was in the youth training camp.” said Su Bai as he walked into the door with Bing Qingqing.
Su Bai could feel his spirit shake. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a cave.
The cave was about fifty square meters wide. Apart from Bing Qingqing, who was following Su Bai, there were more than a dozen unfamiliar Beastmasters.
Su Bai looked around and said, “The lady luck smiled upon us.”
After entering the ruins, there was a high chance that a team’s Beastmasters would be separated.
But Bing Qingqing was still beside Su Bai.
“Yup.” Bing Qingqing nodded and heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, she was not separated from Su Bai.
The labyrinth was an opportunity. At the same time, it was also a problem if one could withstand it.
In the cave, more than ten Beastmasters didn’t say a word, sizing up their surroundings. However, they couldn’t find anything.
This was just an ordinary cave, but there were two passages ahead.
“What should we do?” Bing Qingqing asked as she looked at Su Bai.
The surrounding Beastmasters fell silent, clearly not wanting to stick their heads out.
The labyrinth ruins were huge. There were also different theories about how it appeared.
However, one thing was very clear. This was a space opened up by an intelligent species, and many traces of life were enough to prove this.
For some unknown reason, the species living here had become extinct, so there was not a clue about the ruins.
Among them, the most frightening part of the labyrinth ruins were the traps and other mechanisms. No one knew if the end of the road was a trap or a tempting treasure chest.
“Just pick a random path.” Su Bai shrugged and smiled.
Su Bai could not tell the difference between the two paths from all aspects. Naturally, it had to depend on his luck.
The two of them immediately chose the path on the left and went in.
Seeing that, some other Beastmasters picked the right side, not wanting to travel with the others.
Some chose to follow behind Su Bai. He knew what the Beastmasters that followed him were thinking.
Therefore, Su Bai brought Bing Qingqing and quickened his pace.
The first level of the labyrinth ruins could be reached in a few minutes. Occasionally, Su Bai’s team would encounter Beasts blocking the way, but the threat was not high.
SWOOSH!
Whitey killed an Iron-level Beast instantly.
Su Bai didn’t even bother to extract the Beast-core and continued on his way.
Along the way, the Beastmaster behind Su Bai and Bing Qingqing had long disappeared. The other Beastmasters probably lost their way.
But unfortunately, Su Bai and Bing Qingqing met many other Beastmasters as well. Seeing Su Bai and Bing Qingqing walking at a fast pace, the other Beastmasters chose to follow them.
“They are all a bunch of followers,” said Bing Qingqing. She looked depressed.
“It’s normal. This place is indeed recognized as a labyrinth ruins by the Great Wilderness City. There’s no trace of the correct passage.”
Along the way, Su Bai tried to find an opportunity with his spiritual energy. But, it was fruitless.
The energy in the air was slightly thin. The highest level of the Beasts living here was only at Bronze-level.
The first level was the real entrance to the labyrinth ruins.
Over a thousand Beastmasters were circling here. They were like a group of headless chickens.
“Looks like we have come here before…” said Bing Qingqing.
When the group came to the new passage, Bing Qingqing couldn’t help but feel a little discouraged.
But Su Bai shook his head with a straight face and said, “We haven’t been here before. Let’s continue forward!”
Seeing with spiritual power was different from the naked eye. Su Bai was able to sense the details accurately.
THUD THUD THUD
At that moment, footsteps suddenly sounded at the fork in the road ahead.
Su Bai and Bing Qingqing arrived at the fork of the road and everyone’s gaze gathered on the road ahead.
Su Bai realized that this was the right path! He could sense that at least three of the Beastmasters in the group were Spiritualists.
“Looks like everyone has the same opinion.”
“It’s been almost an hour. Let’s not hide anymore. Why don’t we look for the entrance to the second level together?” a rough-looking Beastmaster said impatiently.
“What he said makes sense. Since we’ve met here, we should look for the entrance to the second level together.”
“I agree!”
“Let’s cooperate. Otherwise, we wouldn’t know how long it would take.”
Everyone agreed, and Su Bai nodded in agreement.
Su Bai could feel that there was very little energy in the passage ahead through his spiritual power. This meant that very few people or Beasts had passed through.
The other three Spiritualist Beastmasters would notice that as well.
Although they talked about cooperation, the problems in their actions were noticeable.
Those that were familiar with each other will be close to each other, while those who weren’t would keep a small distance.
...
The trust built by the situation was vulnerable.
This kind of team that was temporarily formed was too risky to be the vanguard.
Everyone discussed for a while, only then did they decide on their roles in the team.
Luckily, Su Bai and Bing Qingqing were young, so the others took good care of them.
Su Bai and Bing Qingqing were assigned to the fullback position.
After all, Su Bai’s team was not a big threat in terms of age, strength, and numbers.
“Kid, my Beast is suitable for support. I’ll cover the rear.” a Beastmaster said.
“It’s alright. My Beast isn’t suitable for a head-on battle, but it can provide support in time.” Su Bai shook his head and explained.
“Erm… Alright, then let’s go together.” said the Beastmaster.
“Sure!” said Su Bai.
After the discussion, the other party felt a little awkward. It was as if his thoughts had been seen through by the young man in front of him, but he couldn’t say anything.
...
Bing Qingqing overheard their conversation, especially Su Bai’s excuse. She was cursing in her heart, ‘If your Bearen isn’t suitable for direct combat, then what else is it suitable for?’
However, Bing Qingqing did not say anything.
Soon, everyone began to move forward. They didn’t encounter any forks along the way.
At the same time, there wasn’t even a trace of a Beast.
The signs were enough to prove that this passage was either a dead end or the right path.
Su Bai followed behind the team and Bing Qingqing was right beside him. He could feel that the atmosphere of the team in front of him was very subtle.
“What do you think will happen if we are suddenly under attack at this time?” Bing Qingqing teased.
“Don’t jinx us. This is a very vulnerable team at the moment.” Su Bai smiled helplessly.
“It was just a whim.”
‘Bing Qingqing was usually quite serious. Why did she become a different person when she was in a serious situation?’ Su Bai pondered.
The team walked through the narrow passage for more than ten minutes.
Finally, they arrived at an open space. There was nothing here except for a large door.
After so many years, the door to the secret chamber had long since decayed. The Beastmaster leading the group could easily break it open with his hands.
After everyone entered, they saw a faint pillar of light. It was the only object in the simple secret chamber.
“F*ck, look!” a shocked voice sounded, instantly attracting everyone’s burning gazes.
